"It's backup day today so I'm pissed off. Being
the BOFH, however, does have it's advantages. I reassign null to
be the tape device - it's so much more economical on my time as I
don't have to keep getting up to change tapes every 5 minutes. And
it speeds up backups too, so it can't be all bad can it? Of course
not."
